| I had the library pass to the Putnam Museum, so we met Uncle Ross there.... |
 |
| The Putnam is a wonderful science museum...and it's very interactive. |
 |
| On our way out of the building that day -- Warren found this painted rock. It was just on the ground, with a lot of other river rock... |
 |
| It's still too cold to go out on the porch -- so I laid a tarp down in the living room -- moved the puzzle table to the middle of the tarp...and covered it with an old tablecloth. |
 |
| Finding suitable rocks was no problem... |
 |
| And I have dozens of bottles of paint...maybe some fingernail polish, too... |
 |
| Some foam egg cartons to put their paint in...several cups of water...and a roll of paper towels... |
 |
| Lilly decided all her rocks should begin with a white coat of paint. |
 |
| Warren got right to the red paint part... |
Every town out here has it's own painted rocks facebook group. It's a crazy, creative, fun phenomenon. As so many of our parks are actually wooded trails, people get creative with the hiding. One guy is legendary for hiding a gold Seahawks rock. He gives clues over several days, as to where it might be on the many miles of trails. He also has a painted rock trading post at his business.
ReplyDeleteYOU ARE RIGHT!! I should have known there would be a FB group. Now I think we're really gonna get serious...I checked out the local page (QC Rocks) -- and there are so many beautiful designs!!
